In general, koalas are similar to wombats (their closest relatives) , but have thicker fur (soft and 2-3 cm thick), larger ears and longer limbs. The koala has large, sharp claws to help it walk on tree trunks. The weight of a koala varies from about 5 kg for a small female in the north to about 14 kg for a large male in the south.

Koalas went unnoticed by the expedition of James Cook, who in 1770 discovered the east coast of Australia. The first mention of them is found in the report of John Price, a servant of the Governor of New South Wales, John Hunter, on a trip to the Blue Mountains in 1798. Price wrote that in the Blue Mountains there is an animal called the Cullawine, which looks like a sloth.

In the early 20th century, they were introduced to Yanchep in Western Australia, as well as to a number of islands off the coast of Queensland, including Kangaroo Island and Magnetic Island, which is believed to be the northern tip of the koala's current range. The total area of the range of koalas is about 1,000,000 km² and includes at least 30 biogeographic regions .

The natural range of the koala includes coastal areas in the east and south of Australia, from Adelaide to the southern part of the Cape York Peninsula. They are also common in regions with enough moisture to support forests suitable for koalas. South Australian koalas were largely wiped out during the first half of the 20th century, but with the help of individuals from Victoria, the koala population in South Australia has been restored.

The specific name cinereus was proposed in 1817 by Georg August Goldfuss, and in Latin means "ashy".

Although koalas are not bears or their close relatives, English-speaking settlers of the late 18th century called them koala bears because of their resemblance. This name is still used outside of Australia although its use is discouraged due to ambiguity.

The word koala (English koala) comes from the Darak[en] word gulawan or its shortened form gula. The original transcription of cullawine was gradually superseded by the variant koola. Although the vowel /u/ was originally spelled "oo" in English orthography, it was changed to "oa"[2] perhaps by mistake. It was erroneously believed that this word meant "does not drink"
